Product and Test Engineer, PMIC

General Summary

The Product Development and Test Engineering group develops test solutions for design verification of leading edge technologies and highly integrated radio frequency transceivers, power management, analog and mixed signal ASICs designed by Qualcomm. It works with Design, System, Foundry, Program Management, Yield, Reliability, Marketing, Sales and Manufacturing teams to create, commercialize and support Qualcomm’s products.

Designing and debugging of test interface HW (load board), test SW (test program) development, HW/SW integration, characterization plan development, first silicon debug, process experiment (DOE) definition, multiple-source fab matching, device characterization, data analysis, product documentation/presentation, test limit (guard band) generation; driving failure analysis to completion, yield variance control. The job scope also requires the engineer to drive short-term and long-term test time reduction and yield improvement to meet set goals without compromising production quality for multiple projects in parallel.
